Service Security Awareness

With the Next-Gen Security Awareness Training, Hornetsecurity offers together with SVA an additional service to better equip companies and employees for the defense against cyber attacks.
Cybercriminals are constantly finding new avenues of attack, and the number of attacks is also steadily increasing: the Hornetsecurity Ransomware Report 2022, for example, revealed that 60% of attacks are due to phishing attempts. Many attackers exploit humans as a vulnerability for phishing and fraud. Therefore, the new awareness training integrates the human factor, strengthening this weaker link in the defense chain.

Hornetsecurity's automated training is considered innovative in that it is easy for customers to use and does not require complex administration. The Awareness Engine is the technological core and provides tailored, on-demand training: each user receives only as much training as needed. The patented spear phishing engine simulates sophisticated phishing attacks to constantly increase users' knowledge of attacks.

To measure employee progress, the Employee Security Index (ESI®) is used as an industry-unique benchmark that continuously measures and compares security behaviors across the organization and among employees.

The Security Awareness Training is available as a standalone service or as a complement to Hornetsecurity's email security solutions, like 365 Total Protection.
